Siegfried Albrecht

Siegfried Albrecht (1902-1940) was a German Gestapo officer during World War II. In 1940, he was sent to occupied France to root out French Resistance members in Paris, employing the use of moles. Father Denis, a priest with links to the Resistance (as well as an acquaintance of Albrecht), attempted to assassinate him in the German embassy in Paris bombing, but Albrecht was not present at the time. Fortunately, Albrecht did not suspect Denis of the attempt, and he even asked him to preside over his wedding to French girl Chloe Peltier, whom he had forced into marriage with him lest he deport her family. At the wedding, Denis and Sean Devlin ambushed Albrecht and his groomsmen with gunfire, with Denis killing Albrecht with a Thompson submachine gun.
